LulzSec Hacks CIA's Public Site

Group's attack continue to grow more flagrant, as do its detractors.

At around 6 p.m. Wednesday night after a busy day of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks some "31337" 2005-era "/b/tards" posted a microblog to Twitter. But these weren't just any "/b/tards"; these were the most infamous hackers of the year -- LulzSec.

And they didn't just post any old message. They typed:

Tango down - cia.gov - for the lulz.
Indeed the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's homepage was unreachable.
